7:54
SPEAKER_01: He put out some solo albums.
7:55
SPEAKER_01: I'm not sure what the other guys in the bands were doing, but I'm sure they had their own side projects.
8:00
SPEAKER_01: Um, and then they came out, geez, I don't know uh how long ago this album was, but has one of my favorite winger songs on it.
8:09

8:14
SPEAKER_01: I think it was Was this the last one?

8:17
SPEAKER_01: It was like 2015, 17?
8:20
SPEAKER_01: Somewhere around there.
8:21
SPEAKER_01: It's been a while.
8:21
SPEAKER_01: I have it here somewhere.
8:24
SPEAKER_01: Uh what's cool about Winger, one of the things that's cool about Winger is they often videotape the process of recording.
8:35
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
8:36
SPEAKER_01: And they put it on YouTube so you could you could watch it, which is a really cool process.
8:42
SPEAKER_01: Um so I kind of was expecting more of this.
8:47
SPEAKER_01: You know, good.
8:48
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
8:50
SPEAKER_01: But instead, we got just a kick butt rock album.
8:56
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it just punches you right in the face.
8:59
SPEAKER_01: This was the first single from the new album, Proud Desperado.
9:04

14:19
SPEAKER_01: Oh, he does, but he did back then.
14:22
SPEAKER_08: If if it's okay, I'm gonna And there's a lot of uh religious imaging.
14:27
SPEAKER_08: Yes.
14:28
SPEAKER_08: You know, like in the first song, you know, uh Where are your false idols now?
14:31
SPEAKER_08: And then uh Heaven's Falling.
14:33

14:51
SPEAKER_01: Voodoo Fire, Broken Glass, it's okay, uh Stickin' the Knife and Twist, One Light to Burn, Do or Die, Time Bomb or Do or Die.
14:58
SPEAKER_01: Do or die.
14:59
SPEAKER_01: That's a good one.
14:59
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
15:00
SPEAKER_01: All right.
15:00
SPEAKER_08: That that one to me is the most like uplifting one.
15:03
SPEAKER_01: Do or die.
15:04
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, the the you know, the the words of it.
15:06
SPEAKER_08: You know, if you listen to the words, that's more like you can do it, man.
15:08
SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
15:09
SPEAKER_01: Right.
15:10
SPEAKER_01: Alright, so uh we have to go back to our our buddies, Ultimate Classic Rock.
15:14
SPEAKER_01: Hi guys! Because it's us, it's O'Brien and Doug, we're your best friends.
15:20
SPEAKER_01: Because they wrote a review of it.
15:22
SPEAKER_01: Ah.
15:22
SPEAKER_01: And I think it was pretty positive.
15:24
SPEAKER_01: I haven't read it all the way through, but so I just wanna so this is their words.
15:28
SPEAKER_01: It is sufficiently impressive that Winger, 35 years removed from their debut, 35 years.
15:36
SPEAKER_01: Holy cow.
15:36
SPEAKER_01: Holy crap.
15:37
SPEAKER_01: Man, we are old.
15:39
SPEAKER_01: Has managed to keep Where's my AARP card?
15:42
SPEAKER_01: Has managed to keep her.
15:47
SPEAKER_08: Wouldn't that be funny?
15:49
SPEAKER_08: You get a Winger album, you get an ARP membership.
15:52
SPEAKER_08: Like in the sleeve.
16:04
SPEAKER_01: It's sufficiently impressive that Winger has managed to keep their original lineup intact while other bands of that era have lost and replaced key members.
16:12
SPEAKER_01: That the group has made an album as rock solid as seven is a testament to their collective power and virtuosity and to the singular force that is their namesake leader.
16:22
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, because you know he's like, I mean, he's a classical composer.
16:25
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he's a he's a musical genius.
16:27
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he is.
16:28
SPEAKER_01: Uh, we're talking about Kipwinger.
16:29
SPEAKER_01: They certainly come out of their corner punching hard with proud desperado as churning riffage sets the mood, as Kipwinger tells of a character whose penchant for violence has swung around to claim him.
16:40
SPEAKER_01: You're losing blood, face down in mud, bullets fall like rain, but nothing bleeds forever.
16:45
SPEAKER_01: It's a tremendous beginning, made even more remarkable when followed by heaven's falling, which decreases the tempo and switches focus to matters of the heart.
16:52
SPEAKER_01: Can we survive all that's been said and done, or has the end just begun?
16:57
SPEAKER_01: Kip Winger sings, sounding weary, but strong enough to ask the right questions.
17:01
SPEAKER_01: The huge chorus lifts the song without hinting whether things will work out in the end.
17:05
SPEAKER_01: They do go deep on these things.
17:07
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
17:08
SPEAKER_01: Uh, Winger has always been a versatile bunch, equ uh equally adept at intricate, quasi-progressive pieces, fist-in-the-air anthems, and time-stopping power balladry.
17:17
SPEAKER_01: All true.
17:19
SPEAKER_01: Both It's Okay and Tears of Blood employ throwback elements to pull you in, the former a talk box assisted main riff, the latter a dry, distorted AC DC-ish stomp.
17:30
SPEAKER_05: Ah, yeah, see, yeah.
17:31
SPEAKER_01: Yep.
17:32
SPEAKER_01: It's okay amps up the proceedings by having winger and beach trade-off lead vocals.
17:36
SPEAKER_01: Is that who's singing?
17:38
SPEAKER_07: Wow, that makes more sense.
17:40
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
17:40
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
17:41
SPEAKER_01: I didn't I knew it was somebody else, but I didn't realize it was Red's.
17:43
SPEAKER_01: I didn't realize either.
17:45
SPEAKER_01: Uh Tears of Blood does the same by sneakily transitioning from its primitive beginning into a dramatic chorus with only a couple bars of a spooky guitar figure between then.
17:54
SPEAKER_01: Uh I'm not gonna go over the whole thing here.
17:56
SPEAKER_01: So he's because he's talking about um different songs.
18:00
SPEAKER_01: Uh nothing, though, quite prepares you for the album closing.
18:03
SPEAKER_01: And I said this, it's the first time I heard it.
18:05
SPEAKER_01: It all comes back around.
18:06
SPEAKER_01: An epic seven plus minutes of dynamic shifts from ethereal moments to blast-off choruses.
18:12
SPEAKER_01: Kipwinger's voice gradually increases in intensity, then falls back, only to work its way back up again.
18:17
SPEAKER_01: Reb Beach also shines, his soul is moving from long bent notes to super fast runs.
18:22
SPEAKER_01: Throughout the long song, not a moment or note is wasted.
18:25
SPEAKER_01: All the sundry parts fit into making the greater whole.
18:28
SPEAKER_01: Doesn't matter whether you have a firsthand recollection of Winger's MTV, a betted introduction to the popular consciousness, or you've picked up the records they've made since emerging from Exile at the turn of the millennium.
18:39
SPEAKER_01: If you like potent, hard rock and virtuosic playing, you owe it to yourself to check out Seven.
18:45
SPEAKER_01: Positive review.
18:46
SPEAKER_01: That's very positive.
18:47
SPEAKER_01: For sure.
18:47
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
18:48
SPEAKER_01: Um and I agree.
18:50
SPEAKER_01: Just I don't even think Beavis and Butthead could say anything about that.
18:53
SPEAKER_01: I don't think so either.
18:54
SPEAKER_01: And I I'm so glad that they're getting the credit they deserve because um they're awesome.
18:59
SPEAKER_08: It's such a great album.
19:01
SPEAKER_01: Such a great album.
19:02

19:15
SPEAKER_01: I haven't got it yet.
19:17
SPEAKER_01: Um and Mammoth comes out in August.
19:20
SPEAKER_01: Speaking of Mammoth, while we're on that subject, uh I wanna I want to so you heard the first single from Mammoth from Wolf Wolfie's new album.
19:29
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
19:30
SPEAKER_01: Um which was called something about Song for the End of the World.
19:36
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, what is it?
19:37
SPEAKER_08: What was it called?
19:39
SPEAKER_01: Another celebration.
19:40
SPEAKER_01: Celebration at the end of the world.
19:41

19:43
SPEAKER_01: Ultimate classic rock has it.
19:46
SPEAKER_01: Um and of course the the new album is just like the old album wherein he plays all the instruments.
19:52
SPEAKER_01: He writes, he writes all the songs, plays all the instruments.
19:56
SPEAKER_01: Neither would I.
19:58
SPEAKER_01: Um but this song is different.
20:02
SPEAKER_01: But in a good way?
20:05
SPEAKER_01: I mean I I I guess I just have to play it.
20:09
SPEAKER_01: Uh let's see.
20:11
SPEAKER_01: I want to see what he says.
20:12
SPEAKER_01: Um I've gotten more confident and I know what the project is now rather than trying to figure out what it was from the start, like on the first one.
20:20
SPEAKER_01: What I want to do with this album is widen what that breadth is.
20:24
SPEAKER_01: For the left, for example, there's a song that's all on piano.
20:28
SPEAKER_01: So it has more of a softer vibe.
20:29
SPEAKER_01: But on the right, there's some really heavy stuff in comparison to the debut.
20:33
SPEAKER_01: That's what I find really exciting.
20:34
SPEAKER_01: It's fun to stretch the definition of mammoth on both sides.
20:38
SPEAKER_01: And this is a song called Like a Pastime.
20:42
SPEAKER_01: And it's definitely different than what you heard on the first Mammoth album, but it's still pretty freaking awesome.
20:49
SPEAKER_01: So let's let's play a little bit of this.
20:51
SPEAKER_01: Uh Mammoth W V H.
21:15
SPEAKER_08: There's something like very eighties new way right about it.
21:19
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
21:19
SPEAKER_10: You're not who I thought I'd be.
21:23
SPEAKER_10: Love to see you try.

22:50
SPEAKER_01: So, I mean, you get the idea.
22:52
SPEAKER_08: I hate to say this, and it may be sacrilege to say this.
22:56
SPEAKER_08: He may surpass his father.
22:58
SPEAKER_08: As a musician.

39:44
SPEAKER_01: And um I got I don't know, I got into this thing where I was trying to I've I've been trying to find our sound.
39:56
SPEAKER_01: You know?
39:57
SPEAKER_01: I still can't figure out what our sound is.
39:59
SPEAKER_01: Did you look under the couch?
40:01
SPEAKER_01: I bet it's under the couch.
40:03
SPEAKER_01: It's always under the couch.
40:05
SPEAKER_01: But you know, because we're we're retro in a sense.
40:09
SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
40:10
SPEAKER_01: Like like our our original songs.
40:14
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
40:14
SPEAKER_01: Um are kind of a throwback, in a sense.
40:19
SPEAKER_01: And so I was thinking ideally what I'd like Comet Crossing to be We're modern retro.
40:28
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
40:28
SPEAKER_01: Well, I just made that interesting.
40:30
SPEAKER_01: When I think of when I think of Comic Crossing, and I don't know why, but I think of um that thing you do.
40:37
SPEAKER_01: And I don't know why.
40:38
SPEAKER_01: The song?
40:39
SPEAKER_01: Well, the song.
40:41
SPEAKER_01: Well, the movie because we all love it, but but the song, you know, very catchy, uh, big chorus, yeah, you know, memorable.
40:49
SPEAKER_01: Um and I was trying to and I was going over actually in my iTunes, I made a playlist of uh our stuff.
41:01
SPEAKER_01: Uh and I titled it New Common Crossing Album.
41:04
SPEAKER_01: Ah.
41:06
SPEAKER_01: So because there are some songs on here that we have not like I mean, we we've put together uh um an album that came out in 2010 13 years ago.
41:20
SPEAKER_01: That's crazy, man.
41:21
SPEAKER_08: Um at least we know how f old Finn is.
41:25
SPEAKER_08: That's the only that's the only way I know how old your son is.
41:30
SPEAKER_08: I think I was like, oh yeah, he's 13, so the album's 13 years.
41:36
SPEAKER_08: When we recorded the album, he was born the next week.
41:38
SPEAKER_08: Right.
41:39
SPEAKER_08: So that's how I always remember.
41:42
SPEAKER_01: So I put a list of 16 songs.
41:46
SPEAKER_01: Ooh, nice.
41:48
SPEAKER_01: Um and actually one of them is not in there because we don't have a recording of it, but uh um um Jedi Jeweler.
41:55
SPEAKER_01: Oh, I didn't even think of that one.
41:58
SPEAKER_01: So we gotta put two more in.
41:59
SPEAKER_01: Jedi Jeweler and um uh She Comes to Dance.
42:04
SPEAKER_08: Oh yeah, we also well the only recording we have that is like on YouTube.
42:07
SPEAKER_08: Right.
42:08
SPEAKER_08: Because we've done it out a couple times.
42:10
SPEAKER_08: Right.
42:10
SPEAKER_08: I think Joe Co uh Dennis did it and he recorded it for us.
42:13
SPEAKER_01: But I just want to I wanna tell me tell me if you agree.
42:16
SPEAKER_01: Um and then I wanna there's a there's a band that I found.
42:21
SPEAKER_01: This that's what started this whole conversation, um, that is also kind of retro.
42:26
SPEAKER_01: It's a super group.
42:27
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
42:27
SPEAKER_01: And I think I've probably played them for you before, but I didn't realize they had a second album.
42:33
SPEAKER_01: So again, this is me trying to find Comic Crossing sound.
42:37
SPEAKER_01: But so I'm as much as you don't like this song.
42:41
SPEAKER_08: Is it Dance on the Moon?
42:42
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
42:42
SPEAKER_08: I like Dance on the Moon.
42:43
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
42:47
SPEAKER_08: Is it my favorite Comic Crossing song?
42:50
SPEAKER_08: No.
42:51
SPEAKER_08: But I like it.
42:52
SPEAKER_14: I think it's cloudy.
42:54
SPEAKER_08: It definitely sums up who we are, right?
42:57
SPEAKER_01: I mean it's it's got a big chorus.
43:02
SPEAKER_01: I was thinking the other day um about another song, and I was just thinking of treatments.
43:08
SPEAKER_01: Because, you know, these songs topical or no no these songs.
43:14
SPEAKER_01: Shut up, try to be serious.
43:17
SPEAKER_01: These songs, um, even though even though we had a hand, obviously, in in recording them, you and I recorded, like this one in particular.
43:27
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's just you and I.
43:28
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, um they never come out the way I want them to come out.
43:32
SPEAKER_01: And they probably never will.
43:34
SPEAKER_08: But the technology was not as good as it is now.
43:36
SPEAKER_01: It's true.
43:37
SPEAKER_01: But I also like this next song, this one right here.
43:42
SPEAKER_01: Okay, some kind of right.
43:44
SPEAKER_01: So I was thinking the other day of an arrangement for this song that would make it better.
43:50
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
43:51
SPEAKER_01: Um replace the drummer.
43:54
SPEAKER_01: Well, that's one.
44:00
SPEAKER_01: And then uh but if you listen to the the chorus of this, uh I want to slow it down just a little.
44:08
SPEAKER_01: I'll show you.
44:09
SPEAKER_01: I'll show you what I mean.
44:11
SPEAKER_01: You know that beat that you that you did in 442?
44:14
SPEAKER_01: Yep.
44:14
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
44:17
SPEAKER_00: I think it would be one more round.
44:23
SPEAKER_00: Right.
44:25
SPEAKER_01: Let's do it.
44:26
SPEAKER_01: That reminds me of that thing you do.
44:28
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
44:28
SPEAKER_01: I mean it's it's got a it's a catchy chorus.
44:30
SPEAKER_01: We'll have to put the hand claps in there too.
44:32
SPEAKER_01: That's what I mean.
44:32
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
44:33
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
44:33
SPEAKER_01: Uh and then of course.
44:36
SPEAKER_13: I could tell you everyone.
44:38
SPEAKER_13: Who's that guy?
44:40
SPEAKER_01: Some guy said he played the drums, but we just gave him a microphone.
44:45
SPEAKER_08: We're still waiting for him to be a drummer.
44:49
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, this this has definitely gotta go on another.
44:51
SPEAKER_08: Oh yeah.
44:55
SPEAKER_01: And again, this is just Doug and I.
44:57
SPEAKER_01: We recorded these on a black cool.
45:00
SPEAKER_01: I was gonna say a four-track, but we didn't do it a four-track.
45:02
SPEAKER_08: Wasn't the four-track, I think it was on It was like an early version of uh wasn't Pro Tool.
45:09
SPEAKER_08: No, it was uh wasn't Garage Band, because I don't even think Garage Band was out yet.
45:13
SPEAKER_08: Nope.
45:14
SPEAKER_08: I don't even remember what it was.
45:16
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
45:17
SPEAKER_08: Some program.
45:18
SPEAKER_08: And then I think we found it in a bin at Walmart.
45:21
SPEAKER_08: Oh yeah.
45:22
SPEAKER_08: Do the things that they're gonna do.
45:23
SPEAKER_08: Try too hard, yeah.
45:23
SPEAKER_08: Right.
45:24
SPEAKER_02: Try to leave you in a happier place.
45:26
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, this is a good song.
45:31
SPEAKER_01: But if these could be done the right way.
45:35
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
45:35
SPEAKER_02: That's right.
45:36
SPEAKER_01: I think this could be a fun song.
45:40
SPEAKER_02: Sometimes I go too far.
45:43
SPEAKER_02: Sometimes I don't know if I should say I'm gonna be a good one.
45:45
SPEAKER_08: It's kinda like a just pack up.
45:48
SPEAKER_08: REM meets Green Day vibe.
45:53
SPEAKER_01: I see the REM.
45:55
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
45:58
SPEAKER_01: Hold you down.
45:59
SPEAKER_08: Hold you down, yep.
46:02
SPEAKER_01: I think we tried to record this like separately with everybody doing their parts.
46:08
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I did, yeah.
46:09
SPEAKER_01: It didn't work.
46:10
SPEAKER_01: Well, I mean it probably could have, but we just didn't put enough effort into it.
46:18
SPEAKER_01: But this again, this is another one of those that has a pretty cool chorus.
46:21
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
46:26
SPEAKER_01: This is us sitting around a kitchen table.
46:28
SPEAKER_13: Yep.
46:42
SPEAKER_08: This is definitely a hootie vibe.
46:45
SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
46:49
SPEAKER_13: Hold you down.
46:51
SPEAKER_01: I love that.
46:52
SPEAKER_01: Me too.

SPEAKER_02: It's the only way that I'll survive.
47:12
SPEAKER_01: So let's see.
47:14
SPEAKER_01: Well, let's gotta get to the chorus because I like the chorus in the church.
47:16
SPEAKER_13: The chorus is awesome.
47:19
SPEAKER_13: Noise till it drops a rise.
47:31
SPEAKER_01: See, right here I would go to the chorus.
47:34
SPEAKER_01: I wouldn't extend it out another one.
47:37
SPEAKER_01: It's kind of like delaying the inevitable.
47:39
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
47:40
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
47:42
SPEAKER_13: Don't let me down.
47:44

1:18:19
SPEAKER_08: I think we've done.
1:18:20
SPEAKER_01: You know some podcasts actually write script?
1:18:22

1:18:27
SPEAKER_08: I can't imagine having that much time.
1:18:28

1:18:31
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we are.
1:18:32
SPEAKER_01: Per se.
1:18:33
SPEAKER_01: Because I think of a podcast as um something that has a No, we are a podcast.
1:18:43
SPEAKER_01: Has a following?
1:18:44
SPEAKER_01: We are Yes.
1:18:48
SPEAKER_01: No, I guess we are a podcast.
1:18:50
SPEAKER_01: But when I think when I when I listen to podcasts, it's like um like they obviously are scripted and and and have research and it's like a topic.
1:19:01
SPEAKER_01: There's like a subject.
1:19:02
SPEAKER_01: Right.
1:19:02
SPEAKER_01: And and it's an educational thing.
1:19:05
SPEAKER_01: Right.

SPEAKER_01: You know?
1:19:06
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: There are podcasts that aren't like that.
1:19:08
SPEAKER_01: I mean, there are like interview podcasts and things like that.
1:19:10
SPEAKER_01: So I guess we are a podcast, but I just think we're just like we just sit around talking about stuff.
1:19:16
SPEAKER_01: That's what a podcast is, apparently.
1:19:18
SPEAKER_08: This is basically you just, you know, fly on the wall of our conversation.
1:19:23
SPEAKER_08: Pretty much.
1:19:23
SPEAKER_08: So pretty much.
1:19:24
SPEAKER_01: Alright, so I think we've done this artist before.
1:19:26
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
1:19:27
SPEAKER_00: But I don't think we've done this album.
1:19:28
